February 28, 2017 04:45 - 1 hourAfter another dismal week of hockey, the BSH Radio crew takes on the difficult task of finding not-depressing things to discuss.

Still, that doesn't stop the gang from critiquing the recent usage of Steve Mason, and trying to comprehend Andrew MacDonald's journey from scratch on Sunday to first pair defenseman five days later. T...
